Partway through installing mine right now - still waiting for front bar as I will combine it with dropping the oil pan for sludge inspection, since the exhaust pipe needs to come off for both jobs.
Rear sway bar is pretty easy, you'll need to drop the exhaust pipe down a bit (not too far or you'll damage the flex joint). The two nuts that hold the attach brackets are reachable with a box end wrench through the wheel well, but you can only turn them about 1/8 turn at a time. Pay attention to the way all the links go as you take it out - I had a few moments of confusion.
You need spring compressor available to do the shocks/springs front & rear.
The top nut on the rear shocks will be very rusty and hard to remove - but you get a new nut with the kit. There's lots of pieces to the front shocks - draw a diagram as you take it apart!
I found the front shocks/springs WAY stiffer and made a big difference in ride, the rear not so much.
